Amazing for ANYONE!!!

This app is exactly what I've been looking for! A must have for people who just want to tinker around, or those who are a little more serious about music! Thank you!!!

Octaves

I am sure this is a great app hence the high rating but there's an issue with the octaves. I set a note to play in the second octave. Then I make another note in the third. It will either make the first note really high or really low. please fix!

Nope

It seemed like an okay app but it crashes way too frequently.

Impressive synth, but can't see keyboard

Must be because of iOS 5. Seeing the keyboard would be very needed.
